hoichess for Debian
-------------------

Frontends:
 This Software is useful with a frontend to play with. Successfully tested is
 the current version of knights. Also the famous analysis and database frontend
 scid is working perfectly with hoichess.

Opening Book
 there is currently no opening book distributed for hoichess. We have 
 the source code of the gnuchess opening book in debian already. I will 
 talk to the maintainer and maybe provide a patch that his package produces
 an opening book for hoichess also.

 As long as this takes you can get an opening book by hand:

 apt-get source gnuchess-book

 find the .pgn file and do:

 echo "book create openingbook.bin openings.pgn 0 10" | hoichess

 This will take about 1-2 minutes and produces a binary opening book.

 hoichess can be called like this to use this opening book:

 hoichess --book openingbook.bin
